I downloaded a copy of 2020 Premier CD/Download Turbotax on to my computer.  When my friend tried to download a copy into her computer, she got the message that other person has already download it; go to that person's account and look for download.  I see my download in the computer but I don't know how to get my download to her computer.  Any one has that problem and know how to solve it, please help.

    The process of installing TurboTax on multiple computers is the same as installing it on one computer. For more information about how to install, consult these frequently asked questions about installing the TurboTax CD/download edition (click here: link).

     

    If you want to install TurboTax on a computer that doesn’t have a CD drive, follow these instructions (click here: link).

    The link takes me to a download page for a Canadian version of TT.  I cannot find a similar page for the US version.

     

    This really shouldn't be that hard.  Every time I try to install, I get the error that it's already been downloaded.  I'm aware of that.  I'm supposed to be able to download it five times.  Why isn't it letting me download it on this computer????

    I purchased turbo tax from best buy in feb. It was digital version. I  downloaed it to one computer. I need to download to another laptop.

    When i go to bestbuy account it says download  but it doesnt let me do anything. Is it because I waited to long to download second copy 

    Thank you

    Contact Best Buy and ask them why you cannot download it again ... you should have access for 3 years.

    Here is the exact issue I am having.  I purchased the 2021 CD and used the disc to download Turbo Tax onto my computer.  My other computer does not have a CD drive, so when I try and download TurboTax to this second computer using the license code that came with the CD, I am getting the following message "This license code has already been associated with an account. Please check that account and look for it in Download".   However, since I downloaded the program via CD on my first computer, I do not have the 2021 download available under my downloads on my account.  I have tried everything, nothing will work.   I have called customer support but have not able to speak with anyone as the hold times are very long.  Please advise how to fix this.  Thanks
